<p>Hello everyone! My name is Albert and I'm a software engineer in the NY. Though I've only used Rust on and off for the past year or so, I've had a great experience with the language. I'd love to contribute back to the project as well as acquire better knowledge of the internals. I have some experience with functional languages (OCaml and Haskell) and am interested in topics from concurrency to devtools. (As a side note, I'd love to learn about the compiler/explore that field as well)</p>

<p>Hi Albert! If you want to learn more about how the compiler works, you can look at the <a href="https://rustc-dev-guide.rust-lang.org/" target="_blank" title="https://rustc-dev-guide.rust-lang.org/"><code>rustc-dev-guide</code></a>. If you want to fix an easy issue, take a look at the issies marked <a href="https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3AE-easy" target="_blank" title="https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3AE-easy"><code>E-easy</code></a>. If you comment <code>@rustbot claim</code> on an issue, that will let others know that you are working on that issue. If you want to work on the debuginfo generates for debuggers take a look at issues marked <a href="https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3AA-debuginfo" target="_blank" title="https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3AA-debuginfo"><code>A-debuginfo</code></a>. Most of these issues are not as easy to fix though. If you rather want to work on IDE integration, take a look at <a href="https://github.com/rust-analyzer/rust-analyzer/labels/good%20first%20issue" target="_blank" title="https://github.com/rust-analyzer/rust-analyzer/labels/good%20first%20issue"><code>rust-analyzer</code></a>. If you want to contribute to a crate about concurrency, take a look at the list at <a href="https://crates.io/categories/concurrency" target="_blank" title="https://crates.io/categories/concurrency">https://crates.io/categories/concurrency</a>.</p>
<p>Whichever topic you choose to contribute too, good luck with it!</p>
<p>If you have any questions about rust-analyzer, you can post them at the t-compiler/wg-rls-2.0 stream. (If you have any question about the compiler internals, you can post it at t-compiler/help.)</p>

<p>Thanks so much for the pointers, bjorn! I've been taking a look at the <code>rust-analyzer</code> and think it will be a good place to start as I get warmed up with the documentation on the compiler. Happy to be a part of the community!</p>
